The In-SHUCK-ch Nation, also known as Lower Lillooet people, are a small First Nations Tribal Council on the lower Lillooet River south of Pemberton-Mount Currie in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The communities of the In-SHUCK-ch are of the St'at'imcets-speaking St'at'imc people, but in recent years seceded from the Lillooet Tribal Council to form their own organization.

The three bands of the In-SHUCK-ch are:

Semahquam First Nation
Skatin First Nations
Douglas First Nation
Joined with the In-SHUCK-ch in the Lower Stl'atl'imx Tribal Council is the:

N'Quatqua First Nation of D'Arcy
